Why do people, especially kids, love trains?

A very long freight train..... - I ran underneath this train on my morning jog and when I came back 10 minutes later it was still coming...

It was a big one....

I remember when I was a kid in school and we used to sneak out of class and hide just below a hill behind the school where teachers could not see us. There were train tracks nearby and we used to wait for trains and wave at the engineers. Every time, they waved back. We loved trains when we were small and there seems to be some sort of romance about them I guess because they are going somewhere far away that will always remain a mystery unless you are on board. Do you have a train story to share??

I don't really have a train story. I do remember the train tracks when I was young but they got rid of them now. I think what I liked about trains were they were so big and powerful, bigger than buses and cars.

i don't like train, and my kids also, there are no trains here. i remember my first son like cars,there are many cars where we live, so they like cars. maybe they should like trains if we live there.
